  Mantle - LoveToKnow 1911
Thus the "electoral mantle" was a robe of office worn by the imperial electors, and the Teutonic knights were known as the orde alborum mantellorum from their white mantles.
"Mantle" is used in many transferred senses, all with the meaning of "covering," as in zoology, for an enclosing sac or integument; thus it is applied to the "tunic" or layer of connective-tissue forming the body-wall of ascidians enclosing muscle-fibres, blood-sinuses and nerves (see Tunicata).
In heraldry "mantling," also known as "panache," "lambrequin" or "contoise," is an ornamental appendage to an escutcheon, of flowing drapery, forming a background (see Heraldry).

  Mantle (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The convection of the Earth's mantle is a chaotic process (in the sense of fluid dynamics), which is thought to drive the motion of plates.
In the upper mantle, the silicates are generally solid (localised regions with small amounts of melt exist); however, as the upper mantle is both hot and under relatively little pressure, the rock in the upper mantle has a relatively low viscosity.

 Mantle (geology) Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The convection of the Earth's mantle is a chaotic process (in the sense of fluid dynamics), which is thought to drive the motion of plates.
The entire mantle, however, is still thought to deform like a fluid on long timescales, with permanent plastic deformation accommodated by the movement of point, line, and planar defects through the solid crystals comprising the mantle.
In the upper mantle, the silicates are generally solid (localised regions with small amounts of melt exist); however, as the upper mantle is both hot and under relatively little pressure, the rock in the upper mantle has a relatively low viscosity.

 mantle
The temperature of the mantle can be as high as 3,700°C/6,692°F. Heat generated in the core causes convection currents in the semi-liquid mantle; rock rises and then slowly sinks again as it cools, causing the movements of the tectonic plates.
The boundary (junction) between the mantle and the crust is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity, which lies at an average depth of 32 km/20 mi.
The mantle is composed primarily of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen in the form of silicate minerals.

 Convection in the Earth
Density variations in the mantle are, by and large, generated by plate tectonics itself, for example through slab cooling, refertization of the mantle, continental insulation, and these also affect the forces on the plates.
The mantle is generally considered to convect as a single layer (whole mantle convection) or, at most two (the standard geochemical model).
A chemically stratified mantle with variable-depth chemical boundaries near 1,000 and 2,000 km and a lower mantle depleted in radioactive elements appears to satisfy available geochemical and geophysical constraints.

 Mantle Plumes
Mantle plumes, most geochemists believe, provide a sample of the deep mantle, though the exact depth from which plumes rise remains uncertain.
Schilling [1991] used the distinctive isotope and trace element ratios in plumes as ``tracers of upper mantle dynamics, much as dyes are used to follow flow patterns.'' He investigated 13 plumes located sufficiently close to spreading centers that they influenced the composition of basalt erupted on those spreading centers.
Mantle plumes appear to be particularly common, and anomalously shallow bathymetry suggests high mantle temperatures.

Samples of the upper mantle may be provided by some volcanic eruptions in ocean areas, e.g., the Hawaiian Islands.

In her "The Case For Approving the Mantle: As Simple As Black and White" (http://www.users.cts.com/king/g/gdca/issues.html) Mary Anne Zenetos presents some excellent arguments in favor of accepting the Mantle in the conformation ring from the point of view of breeding for the Harlequin pattern.
Our current Mantle standard states that "The color shall be fl and white with a solid fl blanket extending over the body; fl skull with white muzzle; white blaze is optional; whole white collar preferred; a white chest; white on part or whole of forelegs and hind legs; white tipped fl tail.
By making the breeding goal for the Mantle include the full white collar, we are, in effect, requiring that we maintain the sw allele in our gene pool, thus actually increasing the number of deaf almost-white puppies born.
